The preliminary week at our university is the ideal start to your studies and an important milestone on your path to university life. Organized by committed students from higher semesters, this week offers a varied programme that not only familiarizes you with the university and your degree course, but also gives you a first insight into life in Lübeck.
With a mixture of information events, interactive activities and social get-togethers, we want to make it easier for you to start your studies and at the same time lay the foundations for new friendships and networks. Participation is of course voluntary - but we are sure that those who take part will start their studies with an extra dose of motivation and orientation.
Experienced students accompany you through the week as mentors and are available to you as personal contacts. They will help you to find your way around the campus, clarify questions and make initial contacts.
Below we give you an overview of the highlights of the previous week and show you how you can best prepare for it. If you already have access to our Moodle, please use the current Moodle course.
Freshman song and early sports
Like every year group, you will also receive a freshman song finely selected by us. This year, there will also be an early sports team who will (un)voluntarily rehearse and refine the choreography of the song with you from time to time. So you can look forward to being taken by surprise and motivated to dance along!
